Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The issue here is whether less restrictive treatments are available for Joe's panic disorder with agoraphobia. It is important to explore all treatment options before resorting to a closed psychiatric ward, as such a setting can be very restrictive and limiting to the patient's freedom. The other options listed (staff-patient ratio, right to treatment, right to refuse treatment) may also be important patient rights issues, but they are not directly related to Joe's specific situation of being in a closed psychiatric ward for his panic disorder with agoraphobia.
